Let them keep dropping, the lower the better.

I think the trend line for the last 20 years, while not straight, has been upwards. I don't see that changing. They haven't made any new ones for 55 years, and people seem to like to own them.

I agree with Hagerty. I have been tracking them and after 2008 the values dropped when housing dropped. In the last few years there has been a recovery that appears to continue strong. Considering auction prices, most good quality cars were put away when things dropped. Now it seems like people are bringing out the nice cars again. There is a high demand for good quality/right build/right color combo high end restomods.
